00:00The Department of Agriculture is continuously working to lower the prices of the country's main products.
00:07The construction of mega cold storage facilities in Taguig City is part of the plan.
00:13According to Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chu Laurel Jr.,
00:17the facilities will protect the farmers, especially if the prices of products such as onions and tomatoes fall.
00:27Laurel said that in this case,
00:30food terminals incorporated or FTI can buy the price of tomatoes to avoid harm to the farmers.
00:39However, the farmers will just throw their products away if the prices of these are already too low.
00:46The DA expects that the mega cold storage facilities in Taguig will be built next year.
